Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hi! I’m Samantha Lind! I’m a contemporary / sports romance author. I’m originally from Alaska, but call Iowa home now where I live with my two boys and my husband. If I’m not writing, I can usually be found with either my kindle in my hand or an earbud in listening to an audio book! By day, I’m an accountant and work from home. My kids (and husband!) all keep me busy as they all play hockey! Our love of hockey runs deep in our house, so much so that my largest series is based on a fictional hockey team!

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

I have four go-to writing spots. 1) my couch! I’ll sit down after my kids are in bed and write for a few hours while watching TV. 2) My desk in my office. 3)Starbucks! I tend to get the most writing done when I pack it up and head to Starbucks for the day. I take my earbuds, get my Strawberry Refresher drink and let the words flow! 4) Last, if we’re on vacation, my husband will drive while I write in the car! I wrote about 80% of Marry Me while we rolled on down the road!

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

Meeting readers! Seriously you guys are the best!

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Kate Canterbary

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

Due to our busy family schedule, I don’t write everyday. I sometimes go a few weeks without writing. I try and give myself a few weeks off between books so I don’t burn out. I’m also very motivated by deadlines, so once I pick a release date and book my PR/editor/proofreader etc. all in, I do my best to stick to it! Having those dates in mind keeps me focused and on track for the most part.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

So many come to mind! Seeing feedback on my very first book baby! Attending my first signing and having a reader come up to me excited to meet me! Getting my first “orange tag” on amazon…. so many exciting moments I’ve had in the last couple of years!

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

I’m not a paperback reader anymore, so I have very few.

#WOTR20 #AttendingAuthor #SeriesStarter Heat (Heat #1) by Jade C. Jamison

December 7, 2019 Dee K Leave a comment

Rachel is about to get the happy ending she wasn’t expecting…

When Rachel Donahue arrives at the spa for her weekly massage, she is dismayed to discover her regular guy is gone but delighted to find he’s been replaced by a hotter-than-hell guy with magic hands. When her rubdown turns intimate, does she stay for the royal treatment or bolt when things get steamy?

Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/42598335-heat

Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Heat-Book-Jade-C-Jamison-ebook/dp/B07JRC8TP6/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1S43NY8RN0OBM&keywords=jade+c+jamison&qid=1571965956&sprefix=Jade+C.+J%2Caps%2C186&sr=8-7

All Rachel wanted was to relax at her weekly message with her massage therapist Mark and have him work the stress of work away. Well after finding out Mark had hurt himself in a skiing accident Rachel wasn’t sure she could let anyone else rub her troubles away, until she caught a glimpse of the sexy replacement and she didn’t mind it for one appointment. Spike started working his magic and well it was getting Rachel all hot and bothered, she was never going to see him again so why not let him take a little extra stress away from her. This is one book that you won’t be able to put down, it’s so good.

Review by Twinsie Dee

Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging instead of Dirty Dancing, she—like Baby—won’t be put in a corner…or a box. So even though you can’t really stick her books in one genre, you could say she mostly writes steamy Contemporary Romance—and, while you’re at it, you’ll notice in her stories that Jade freaking loves Colorado, hard music, coffee, bad words, and CHOCOLATE!!! And so do her characters.

Oh, and there’s always a glimmer of hope…because if life doesn’t have that, what’s the damn point?

#WOTR20 #authorspotlight – Ellis Leigh

December 6, 2019 Angie J Leave a comment

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Ellis Leigh, writer of words, drinker of coffee, mother of daughters, and manger of projects.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

I’ve become addicted to Smart Sweets sour gummy bears and peach rings. They’re made of prebiotic fiber and only contain 3g of sugar per bag–so they’re healthy! At least that’s what I like to tell myself. If I’m not eating low carb, I’ll have some Smart Pop popcorn around. And coffee (during the day) or flavored water (at night). I write on my couch with my feet up and my laptop in my lap (it’s not just a clever name after all) and require quiet–no music, no television.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

I LOVE getting to interact with other authors. Plus just being around books! But my favorite–the absolute bestest thing in the world about being at a signing–is interacting with my readers. They are the sweetest, and I adore meeting them and sharing our love of the worlds I’ve built. Definitely come see me, give me a hug, and talk books with me. I’ll love you forever.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

I got to meet mine! It’s Kelley Armstrong, and I walked up to her during a convention and fangirled all over the place. It was terrifying and awkward and perfect all at once.

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I’m a woman who prefers structure, so I get up early and write for an hour before I have to get ready for work. Every weekday, I do this. Evenings and weekends I’ll work on admin things if I need to, but usually I just knit and hang out with my daughters. That first hour of the day is mine, though. Totally.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

I was at a huge reader convention in Dallas a few years back–totally in line for coffee in my pajamas, mind you–and a reader screamed my name from across the lobby. I love that memory and pull it up whenever I’m feeling a little not-so-great. Whoever she was, she totally made my year!

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

I own paperback copies and a few of the graphic novels from Kelley Armstrong’s Women Of The Otherworld series. Those sit on a top shelf right along with my Harry Potter and Twilight collections. They’re sacred to me.

ONE NIGHT WITH THE DRUMMER OF SUNSET REVIVAL?

Yes, I’m game.

Dani Mills, drummer of the world-famous band, Sunset Revival, doesn’t have time for romance. Touring with her bandmates across the country, she’s content with meaningless sex: one-night-stands, no kissing, no personal details. These are her rules…and there are never exceptions.

John Michaels lives a life of seclusion in Corolla, North Carolina. He works, eats, and sleeps—and is perfectly content with his lifestyle. He doesn’t have the time, or energy, to deal with people. Or relationships. Especially women relationships.

When Sunset Revival gets stranded on the beach, it’s John who is asked for shelter. With his sexy-as-sin good looks—covered in ink with blue eyes so deep they shine—Dani finds herself desperate for one night in his bed. That’s all either of them wants, really…one night, no-strings, no promise of tomorrow.

Yet, when one night turns into two, both find themselves breaking their own rules. Thrust into a whirlwind of passion and desire, the pair struggle to maintain the upper hand, with John learning the hardest lesson of all…never kiss a Rockstar.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Hey gang! My name is Jenna Jacob and I’m super excited to be here with the sexy, sultry ladies of Twinsie TalkI If you haven’t made it to Writers On The River yet – you NEED to go. It’s an amazing event and I’m honored to be a part of ALL the fun!! Okay, about me – well…I’ve been writing for almost seven years and have a couple of hot and steamy BDSM series out: The Doms Of Genesis and another that I co-author with Shayla Black and Isabella LaPearl called, The Doms Of Her Life. I also have a sizzling hot contemporary series: The Hotties Of Haven as well as a new smoking hot contemporary series to be announced soon. Please feel free to follow me on any or all social media platforms.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

Okay – So I work out of my office which was converted from my old dining room. So I’ve got space (which never fails to fill up) for books, books, and more books. My go to’s are: Coffee, Diet Coke, and chocolate. (Always around 3:00 pm when I’m crashing from all the morning coffee LOL) I like quite when I edit, but when I’m writing I gotta have ALL the music. I listen to a lot of different stations either on Pandora, Amazon music, or any number of playlists I’ve got stashed away.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

The READERS!! OMG – ya’ll are AMAZING! I love meeting new people, catching up with friends from the year before, and hugging the stuffing out of everybody!! I wouldn’t be even be at a signing if it weren’t for you guys!!

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

I’m a lucky lady! I’ve already met my Unicorn Author: Dean Koontz!

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

I’m a Virgo so I am a schedule FREAK! I usually set a word count for 3,000 words for the day. I don’t always achieve that number depending on L-I-F-E, but it helps me formulate release dates and helps me stay on track. Oh, look….a squirrel. (Yeah, I do that a LOT!! LOL)

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

I have a LOT of favorite memories so far. Getting the chance to meet – in person – people I talk to on social media is always a thrill. But one I’ll never forget is the first time a reader came up to me, and asked for my autograph. I’m sure I had that preverbal Deer-In-The-Headlights look on my face. LOL

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

OMG if you could see my bookshelves you’d be asking: How in the world is she going to answer that one? LOL Actually, the book that I most treasure isn’t in my office. It’s in the family room. It’s a cookbook from 1847 that my husband Sean’s grandmother gave to me before she died. And I found the best Bread Pudding recipe in that sucker… OMG it’s to die for!! LOL

#NewRelease – Santa’s Special Delivery (Sleeping with the Scrooge) by Sierra Hill

December 4, 2019 Angie J Leave a comment

When love arrives via special delivery.

Joy Winters lives for Christmas. Maybe because as a child growing up in foster care, she never experienced the true meaning of the season. That’s why the charity she began with her best friend to help make under privileged kids’ Christmas wishes come true is so near and dear to her heart.

But this year, those wishes may be derailed when a clerical mistake sends all the gifts to the wrong address. Hoping to locate the gifts before Christmas, Joy tracks down the delivery to the nearby home of a…holiday scrooge! Who cares that he’s the most attractive man she’s ever met? It’s his blustery mood that has her Ho-Ho-Ho turning into No-No-No.

Gabriel Frost has no time for annoying interruptions. He’s already burning the midnight oil with a crazy case load, on top of caring for his ailing grandfather. So, when the delivery company claims he can’t return the hundred packages delivered in error, Gabriel is anything but full of holiday cheer.

But there’s something about the idyllic town of Snowdon, Massachusetts that brings holiday magic into lives of even the biggest bah-humbuggers. Can the sweet smile of this all-kinds-of-adorable do-gooder melt the ice off Frost’s heart and save Christmas for everyone?

Sierra Hill wrote her first full-length romance after a corporate acquisition led her to a stint of unemployment, offering her some quality writing time.

She loves writing about the fictional characters that live in her brain who constantly shout for their own love story to be told.

Sierra resides in the Pacific Northwest with her husband of twenty years and her long-haired, German Shepherd. She is currently working on her next book.

Thanks for reading and reviewing her books. Keep the passion alive!

#WOTR20 #AuthorSpotlight – Harley Easton

December 3, 2019 Angie J Leave a comment

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Harley Easton – I dabble in a little of everything life offers – reading, writing, singing, acting, cosplaying, board gaming, generally being a nerd. All are great ways to make my insanity seem a little more normal. I have two fur-babies I specialize in erotic, romantic, and speculative fiction, writing and editing independently and for small press publishers. Who knows what kind of trouble I’ll get into next.

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

It sounds silly, but I absolutely need a glass of ice nearby. Nothing in it, just ice. I’ll usually write with some instrumental music in the background, but I can crash anywhere to scribble down a few lines.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

The connections you make. I love meeting readers, authors, and organizers. Book people are usually really awesome, so I love walking away with new friends.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Right now, I’d love to meet Jim Butcher or Jane Yolan. Both of them are masters at manipulating folk-lore, fairy elements, and superstition into beautiful stories.

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

Consistency is hard for me. Luckily my family and friends are really supportive and let me spend hours in the writing cave when I have a project.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

The day my mom asked to read my book and my dad told me he was proud I was a writer.

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

I have the copy of Maguerite de Angeli’s Book of Nursery and Mother Goose Rhymes that my aunt let me pour over for hours when I was a child. Not only does it remind me of her every time I see it, the gorgeously illustrated book is what first sparked my love of reading. It got me interested in fairy tales and folk-lore – a life-long obsession of mine that still seeps into my reading and writing.

#WOTR20 #AttendingAuthor #PartofaSeries Jamie’s Got A Wand (Southern Fried Sass Book 4) by Julia Mills

December 2, 2019 Dee K Leave a comment

Put your head between your legs and kiss your booty buh-bye, you’re never gonna believe what’s goin’ on now.

It all started with a surprise visit from a mouse… Well, not really a mouse… Billy’s a Greater Bilby… But that’s just a fancy Australian name for goofy gray rodent with big, pointy ears and a nasty disposition. I mean, I guess…to be politically correct I should… Oh, hell, when have I ever given a rat’s behind about bein’ politically correct?

No time for BS. I’m gonna Joe Friday this bitch. You know, just the facts, ma’am and all that happy horseshit.

Here’s what I have so far:

· Plea for help from Billy the Bilby

· Missing Sloth, who also happens to be my Mate, not to mention a Deputy with a badge and gun which would be so helpful right now

· A tingle in the palm of my wand hand and a wiggle in Wanda’s shiny little tip ~ sure signs somethin’ wicked this way’s acomin’

And… Wait for it … This is the BIG one. Big, like we’re all headed to Hell in a handcart at a high rate of speed with no brakes, no passing Go, no $200, and no clue what to do ~ H-U-G-E.

· Every single one of the Dragonettes is conked out. Completely and totally unresponsive . Like colorful, little Sleeping Beautys snorin’ all over the place. Yeah, you’re so right. I said, “Oh, shit,” more than once, too. Trouble is, we’ve got no colorful little Prince Charmings to pucker up and lay one on ’em. Life without my fiery sidekick is just plain boring. Oh, and, scary as all get out.

Talk about trouble with a capital T and that rhymes with ME, and that stands for the crazy-ass Witch who better get her butt in gear.

Bubble, bubble, who the hell asked for a bubble.

We’re off to the Swamp, a nasty hex to tromp.

Wanda the wand is rarin’ to scoot and the crazy Wolf came too…t. (Sorry, rhyming’s not my thing. Talk to Daisy. She’s the danged poet.)

Grab your boots, your magic, and a big can of bug spray, I’mma need all the help I can get. Don’t worry ‘bout the Gators, they’ve been fed, even that nasty little redhead, Nannette.

P.S. If you see Dash, tell him to get his Slothy butt to the Swamp!

Review by Twinsie Dee

Mom of two rockin’ girls, Reader of everything, Author of The Dragon Guards series and many more surprises to come!

I am a sarcastic,sometimes foul-mouthed, not afraid to drink a beer, always southern woman with 2 of the most amazing teenage daughters,

a menagerie of animals and a voracious appetite for reading who recently decided to write the storied running through her brain. I read my first book, Dr Suess’ Cat in The Hat by myself at 4 and was hooked.

I believe a good book along with shoes, makeup and purses will never let a girl down and that all heroes of all the books

I have ever read or will ever write pale in comparison to my daddy! I am a sucker for a happy ending and love some hot sweaty sex with a healthy dose of romance.

I am still working on my story but believe it will contain all of the above with as much SPICE as I can work into it. CHEERS!

#Review #Series – Lethal Balance (Sons of the Survivalist #2) by Cherise Sinclair

December 2, 2019 Angie J Leave a comment

His name means hunter.

Once the best assassin in black ops, Cazador is now the best at saving lives. His path has changed from seeking bloody vengeance to running a health clinic in Rescue, Alaska.

He will never again risk loving someone he can’t protect.

His mother and sister were murdered in front of him, his fiancée slaughtered in a war zone. Despite his popularity with women, he’s determined to remain unattached. His heart can bear no more loss.

Unfortunately, the universe isn’t listening.

First, his brother hires JJ, a fiery-haired, tough cop who lives on the edge of danger and has the biggest heart of anyone he knows. And then, his disreputable past returns in the shape of an adorable, foul-mouthed nine-year-old daughter. Now he has two loved ones to protect. An impossible task, because…

Life is dangerous. Especially in Alaska.

Goodreads

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Oh these boys!! I am so in love with this series!! I mean each brother I fall for but I think broken Hawk is going to win my heart I the end.

Caz is such a great character. He is so full of love, but he will not fall in love. He will love and care for those in his family IE Gabe, Audrey, Lillian, etc but he will not let his heart fall in love again. The loss of his fiancée is too much for him to endure again.

JJ has had it with men. They are all liars and nasty POS. When she finally leaves her job to try the wilds of Alaska with a shove from a good friend, she soon learns this town is everything she wants but love will not be something she will even consider…until she sees a tall dark drink of water who is also the town whore annnnnd her bosses brother!! Life is suddenly complicated for the two. The chemistry is amazing but when Caz get a phone call that changes his life for the better, they really slow down to regroup. Caz needs to focus on his daughter and slowly sees he needs to focus on JJ as well. This woman has become just as important as his newfound daughter.

I love how the couple fight the push and pull. I love how Caz humors JJ into thinking its just a friends with benefits knowing at some point she will realize he is not leaving her any time soon. I loved the complex nature of the relationship the three of them have. JJ and Regan are both so unsure of where they fit in Caz life which in turn causes some drama for him to untangle.

This has been one of my favorite books this year!! I can’t wait for more!!

A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, she’s renowned for writing heart-wrenching romances with laugh-out-loud dialogue, alpha males, and absolutely sizzling sex.

I met my dearheart when vacationing in the Caribbean. Now I won’t say it was love at first sight. Actually since he stood over me, enjoying the view down my swimsuit top, I might have been a tad peeved—as well as attracted. But although we were together less than two days and lived on opposite sides of the country, love can’t be corralled by time or space.

We’ve now been married for many, many years. (And he still looks down my swimsuit tops.)

Nowadays, I live in the west with this obnoxious, beloved husband and a seventy-pound lap-puppy. I’m a gardener, and I love nurturing small plants until they’re big and healthy and productive…and ripping defenseless weeds out by the roots when I’m angry. I enjoy thunderstorms, collecting eggs from the chickens, and visiting the local brewery for the darkest, maltiest beer on tap. My favorite way to spend an evening is curled up on a couch next to the master of my heart, watching the fire, reading, and…well…if you’re reading my books, you obviously know what else happens in front of fires.

#WOTR20 #AuthorSpotlight – Vivian Ward

December 1, 2019 Melinda B Leave a comment

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

My name is Vivian Ward and I started my writing career in 2013. I’m a full-time, Amazon bestselling author of various titles and am best known for writing ménage and dark romance. Throughout my catalog, you will also find some second chance romance as well as enemies to lovers and, of course, erotic romance. My sweeter stories are those that I’ve published with Flirt Club, but even those have some super steamy scenes!

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.

I have to write in absolute silence because I have squirrel syndrome and get easily sidetracked. While I have an office, I typically like to work while sitting on my back porch because I love the view and it’s so peaceful. Usually, I have a cup of coffee right next to me but sometimes I like to drink something cold while I snack on sunflower seeds.

What are you favorite things about attending signings?

I’m a people person so I love meeting readers–new and old–and I love networking with other authors as well as photographers and cover models. Meeting my fans never gets old and it feels amazing to know that I change people’s lives. I also believe networking is one of the most important tools that an author can have, so I’m always eager to meet some of my fellow writers. Personally, I hold Writers On the River very near to my heart because it’s such an amazing cause to support. As a victim of domestic abuse and violence, my life could’ve turned out much differently, so I’m glad to help other victims in any way I can.

What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?

Tillie Cole, hands down! She could write a freaking grocery list and I’d fall in love with it. LOL Her writing is so detailed and unique and I love how dark her mind is.

When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?

My schedule is hectic with so many littles running around so I don’t have a structured schedule but I do record my progress every day on a spreadsheet to keep my writing goals a top priority. It helps me track if I’m right on target or if I’m falling too far behind so that I can adjust my daily routine to stay on top of things.

What is your favorite memory so far as an author?

I have a few but my favorite memory is earning my first Amazon bestselling tag.

Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?

I do! My favorite book is Sick Fux by Tillie Cole. I love the characters, the way the story is told, and the outcome for everyone involved. My favorite part is when people ask me to summarize it and I tell them that it’s a retelling of Alice In Wonderland where Rabbit and Dolly go on a killing spree, murdering all the bad guys as they stop for tea time, and find their happily ever after when they find the next person to murder once everyone is gone from their circle. It’s a wicked story that I highly recommend!
